NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate
even while the indicator is lit, but poor
airow can impact dry times and overall
performance. If there are other error issues
during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator
will not light up. Refer to the online
“Troubleshooting” section.
Control Lock
The key icon will illuminate when controls
are locked.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be
enabled when recovering from a power
failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold Control Lock for at least
3 seconds.
5. OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and
options are available on all models.
Wrinkle Prevent
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch Wrinkle
Prevent to add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce
wrinkling. On steam models, on some cycles, you may select the
“+Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help
smooth out wrinkles.
Reduce Static (on some models)
Touch to add this option to selected Sensor Cycles. The dryer
will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount
of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option adds
approximately 3 minutes to the total cycle time.
Steam (steam models only)
Steam adds steam to the end of certain Sensor Cycles to help smooth
wrinkles. It is not available on Sanitize, Delicates, Steam Refresh, or
Timed Cycles (Timed Dry, Quick Dry). Steam can be used with High or
Medium heat settings. This option adds approximately 15 minutes to
the total cycle time.
Cycle Signal
Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle on or
off. Touch Cycle Signal to turn sounds on or off.
Control Lock
Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid an unintended change
in cycle options or preferences during a drying cycle. Touch and hold
Control Lock for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer.
During this time, the LED display will count down “3-2-1.” Once the
controls are locked, the Control Lock icon will illuminate.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering
from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold Control
Lock for at least 3 seconds.
Extra Power
The Extra Power option can be used with both Sensor and Timed
Dry Cycles. Press the Cycle Control knob to activate the Extra
Power option, which provides an additional 10 minutes of cycle time
(including additional heat and tumbling, where applicable). When Extra
Power is activated, the Cycle Control knob will illuminate and the
estimated time remaining on the display will show an additional
10 minutes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons,
read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your
appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
Button Descriptions
1. POWER/CANCEL
Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any
time.
2. CYCLE CONTROL KNOB
Use the Cycle Control knob to select available cycles on your dryer.
Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See the online
“Cycle Guide” for details.
The Cycle Control Knob can also be pressed to activate the Extra
Power option for harder-to-dry loads. See the “Options” section for
more information.
3. START/PAUSE
Touch and hold until LED counts down “3-2-1” and the dryer starts; or
touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.
4. LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
When you select a cycle, its settings will light up and the estimated
time remaining (for Sensor Cycles) or actual time remaining (for Timed
Cycles) will be displayed.
See online “Cycle Guide” for details.
Not all settings are available with all cycles.
More Time/Less Time
Touch More Time or Less Time with Timed Cycles to increase or
decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Quick Dry cycle.
Temp
When using any cycle except Sanitize, you may select a dry
temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the
warmest setting acceptable for the garments in the load. Follow
garment label instructions.
Dryness
When using Sensor Cycles, you may select a Dryness level based on
the type of load you are drying (except for the Sanitize cycle).
CYCLE STATUS
The Cycle Status indicators show the progress of a cycle. Touch a
button for the desired drying cycle. Not all indicators are available on
all models. See the online “Cycle Guide” for cycle details.
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that
the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not
light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent.
Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.
Damp
The load still has moisture remaining, a good point in the cycle to
remove a garment to air dry or iron.
Cool Down
The dryer has nished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load
without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
End
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may
be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the
dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Sensor Cycles only.
This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer and the
dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the
beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked
vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire
cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the online
“Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue. The
light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or
opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless
the root cause is resolved.

Cycle Guide - Normal Cycle
If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings
will return to the default. Not all features and cycles are available on all models. Not all settings
and options are available on each cycle.
Use Sensor Cycle for better fabric care and energy savings.
The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches
the selected dryness level. The exact cycle times will vary, depending on the load size and type.
Options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.
